[PD] pd & soundblaster audigy with alsa

[Thoralf Schulze]

hi there,

the latter. i disabled oss in the kernel configuration
and also tried to disable the kernel usb audio and
midi drivers (they are rumored to work in oss mode
only and to cause a lot of issues), but doing so
didn't help.

just did some quick testing with ubuntu 6.06 and pd
0.39-2 - pretty much the same thing. there seems to be
no way of getting sound into pd via the audigy card
...
one thing caught my attention: ubuntu (or gnome,
respectively) comes with a volume control applet. if i
select my crappy on-board sound card as active alsa
device, there is a capture-tab in this applet that
doesn't appear for the audigy. could it be that
capturing audio is simply broken in alsa with this
card? is there an easy way of testing if the line-in
input of a soundcard actually works with alsa?

sorry for bugging you, i realise that i should
probably turn to some linux audio mailing list with
this issue ...

with kind regards,
thoralf.
